Understanding Georgia Logging Truck Regulations
Logging trucks operated by businesses serving customers only in the state of Georgia are governed by Georgia Forest Product Trucking Rules, rather than by federal laws. The Georgia-specific trucking rules address vehicle inspections, cargo loading procedures, driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance logs, and more. Unfortunately, truck drivers and trucking companies sometimes fail to comply with these requirements, with catastrophic results.
Common Types of Logging Truck Accidents
Regardless of the cause, logging truck accidents can be catastrophic, resulting in significant physical injuries and even victims’ deaths. In some cases, accidents occur because of poor road conditions. In other situations, logging truck drivers’ errors result in tragedy.
Some common logging truck accident scenarios include:
- Jack-knifed Trailers. Trucks folding in on themselves can block lanes and quickly create multi-vehicle accidents.
- Inadequate Training. Drivers who were not properly trained to operate logging vehicles can make critical errors while behind the wheel.
- Rollovers. Rollover accidents involving logging trucks can be particularly devastating for other vehicles on the road.
- Poor Conditions. Sometimes, drivers fail to take appropriate care when driving in poor weather conditions or on poorly-maintained roadways.
